PATSY - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Almost Home believes that every animal deserves a loving home regardless of appearance, age, or physical limitation. We have come together to give animals in need the safe and happy life they all deserve. Almost Home Animal Rescue believes that no animal is expendable. Adopting a friend: The animals, lucky enough to find refuge with Almost Home, are all in loving foster homes. If you are interested in the possibility of giving one of the animals a new lease on life, please contact us. The contact information is listed at the end of each biography. What you need to do to adopt: If you would like to adopt a pet in need from Almost Home, basically, an application must be filled out. We will check two personal references and a vet reference. If you are approved for adoption, there is a trial period of about one week to make sure this is the animal for you and you are the person for the animal. Along with the trial period, a contract must be signed that basically states that if ever you cannot keep the animal that you must return the animal to Almost Home. Last but not least, a home check will be done. Meet & Greets: An approved application is required. This does not mean that you have to adopt but that you are approved to do so if everything works out. Since we are foster based, this limits the amount of people coming to our homes. Hi! I’m Patsy, and I have a secret… I’ve been imagining my forever home for a long time. My sister, Pam, and I were found as strays, and while the shelter is okay, it’s noisy and there aren’t enough laps or sunny spots to nap in. I’m about 27 pounds of silky chocolate fur with a splash of white, and my amber eyes sparkle when I think about all the wonderful smells, cuddles, and adventures waiting for me. I imagine a family who talks to me like I understand every word — and maybe I do! I can see it: a soft blanket just for me, a sunny patch of floor to stretch in, and gentle hands that scratch exactly the right spot behind my ears. I picture treats that taste like happiness and toys that bounce and roll just perfectly for chasing. Oh! And a doggie friend to romp with — that would be the best surprise ever. Sometimes I dream about walking through a big, green yard, sniffing every corner and discovering secret spots only I can find. I imagine sitting close to my humans, feeling their warmth, listening to their laughter, and knowing, just knowing, that I finally belong somewhere. Every wag of my tail is a little burst of excitement for all the moments we’ll share — the quiet, the silly, the joyful. I may have come from the streets, but my heart is full of hope, curiosity, and love. I’m ready to show my family the joy I carry in my little paws, the magic I can bring to every day, and the kind of happiness that only comes when we find each other. Could that family be you? Love, Patsy *Guest Posting* If you have any questions, please contact Sabrina via text at 865-659-9894 or email sabrinahuffstetlergmail. ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for a cat is $85. The adoption fee for a kitten is $100. The adoption fee does include the kittens being fixed and their rabies shot when they are old enough through one of our local vets. The adoption fee for a dog is $200. The adoption fee for a puppy is $250. The adoption fee does include the puppies being fixed and their rabies shot when they are old enough through one of our local vets. Mature pet adoption fees are sometimes reduced. The adoption fee for pure bred dogs and cats will vary due to health and age of pet. This helps support our ill animals and our mutts that get left in the system longer. We do reserve the right to change the fees higher or lower due to the circumstance of the animal but what was stated above are the usual adoption fees. Microchipped pets will have a higher adoption fee. Our adoption fees do not cover the cost of the vetting and care the animal has received with us and if it ever does, the money just goes back it to helping other animals in need.
